Each review score is between 1-10. To get the overall score that you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of review scores we’ve received. We use a weighted review system which means that the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. In addition, guests can give separate ‘subscores’ in crucial areas, such as location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value for money and free Wi-Fi. Note that guests submit their subscores and their overall scores independently, so there’s no direct link between them.
You can review an Accommodation that you booked through our Platform if you stayed there or if you arrived at the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, please contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialise in detecting fake reviews submitted to our Platform. If we find any, we delete them and, if necessary, take action against whoever is responsible.
Anyone else who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team, so our Fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we would publish every review we receive, whether positive or negative. However, we won’t display any review that includes or refers to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out, and we may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old – or if the Accommodation has a change of ownership.
An Accommodation may choose to reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (what language a review is in, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). If you like, you can sort and/or filter them (by time of year, review score, etc.).
We sometimes show external review scores from other well-known travel websites. We make it clear when we’ve done this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly without limiting expression of strong opinions. They are also applicable regardless of the sentiment of the comment.
Contributions should be travel related. The most helpful contributions are detailed and help others make better decisions. Please don’t include personal, political, ethical, or religious commentary. Promotional content will be removed and issues concerning Booking.com’s services should be routed to our Customer Service or Accommodation Service teams.
Contributions should be appropriate for a global audience. Please avoid using profanity or attempts to approximate profanity with creative spelling, in any language. Comments and media that include 'hate speech', discriminatory remarks, threats, sexually explicit remarks, violence, and the promotion of illegal activity are not permitted.
All content should be genuine and unique to the guest. Reviews are most valuable when they are original and unbiased. Your contribution should be yours. Booking.com property partners should not post on behalf of guests or offer incentives in exchange for reviews. Attempts to bring down the rating of a competitor by submitting a negative review will not be tolerated.
Respect the privacy of others. Booking.com will make an effort to obscure email addresses, telephone numbers, website addresses, social media accounts, and similar details.
The opinions expressed in contributions are those of Booking.com customers and properties and not of Booking.com. Booking.com does not accept responsibility or liability for any reviews or responses. Booking.com is a distributor (without any obligation to verify) and not a publisher of these comments and responses.
By default, reviews are sorted based on the date of the review and on additional criteria to display the most relevant reviews, including but not limited to: your language, reviews with text, and non-anonymous reviews. Additional sorting options may be available (by type of traveller, by score, etc.).

ItalyThere were no beautiful ladies throwing rose petals at my feet when I walked around.
Abhishek and his father took great care of me from the moment I arrived. Then the owner is also around and was very kind. Location is great and safe. If you want to stay in the lap of luxury you must pay for it. This is a value at the price and if you're not seeking to be pampered by silk sheets or to be hand fed then I recommend Kamal to you. Some reviews are beyond belief at hotels costing so little. Don't be a jerk when visiting India!

MalaysiaThere were gaps around the cooler window where mosquitoes could enter, this could be a problem for foreign guests. Outside of the Taj Mahal, Agra is not a salubrious place to stay.
The location is awesome for the Taj Mahal, with a view from the rooftop. The staff are lovely & we slept well. The cooler & fan worked well. There are some great veggie restaurants close by & the Hotel Kamal parathas & chai are delish!

The location near tajmahal was exceptional Room was comfortable Staff was very cooperative Mr Raju (chef) made very tasty food and best part was that food was available 24×7 round the clock. Mr Abhishek (receptionist) was also very helpful and nice person. The owner Mr Arora was also kind and welcoming. So in total it was a very good 3 days stay at the hotel...

United StatesThere aren’t many amenities at this price point. The room was dated. It was cold when we visited and it would have been nice to have an extra blanket. Beds are firm
Someone was available to check us in and make us sandwiches even though it was almost 2AM. Location wise it is 10/10 as it was a 4 minute walk to the East Gate. The manager helped us hire an auto to the airport even though the driver wanted more money later. Note: The only autos allowed to pick up are the electric ones. Drop off any kind of car or auto is ok. Also, cash only

ItalyThe staff really makes the difference in this hotel! I got sick one night and my girlfriend asked the staff for some medicine, and they personally brought her to the local doctor and, since she didn’t have her wallet, they took care of the costs and didn’t want the money back! Having someone so helpful in these bad moments, when you are sick and alone in a foreign country, is something that really makes your stay.

SpainHotel is currently under repair. Some parts are not yet renewed. The room is basic and rustic. Location is great for Taj mahal but maybe complicated for anything else as traffic gets crazy during the day ex. Uber auto (tuk tuk) can drop you in the hotel but cannot pick you up.
The view from the rooftop is worth the money spent. Not in our wildest dreams we thought we'd have breakfast and dinner with unobstructed Taj views. Additionally Taj by walking is 3 minutes away. The staff was friendly and helpful to our requests and food in restaurant has a normal price. So it comes to what you value and consider to be comfortable or not
